SPS Diploma Sports Massage Therapy
Registered Member of the Sports Massage Association
I have always had a keen interest in Island sport having represented Guernsey in swimming at the Island Games and also at the 1998 Commonwealth Games. I went on to pursue this interest by studying for a Sports and Exercise Degree at the University of Bath. After thoroughly enjoying a module in sports massage and with a strong desire to continue working within the sport and exercise environment, I obtained a SPS Diploma (level 4) in Sports Massage Therapy. Currently I am studying at the North London School of Sports Massage for a BTEC Diploma (level 5) in Sports and Remedial Therapy, allowing me to gain in depth experience in advanced techniques including soft tissue release, myofascial release and muscle energy techniques. I have been practising as a sports massage therapist in Guernsey for the past 10 years. As part of the the Guernsey Medical Team, I have provided sports massage at the past 5 Island Games and at the 2010 Commonwealth Games. I continue to work closely with many of the Island sports including cycling, swimming, athletics and football. I have also built up a strong non sporting client base as sports massage therapy is essential in helping to relieve many day to day problems including postural dysfunctions, repetitive strain injuries, tension and fatigue.
